Fatal Error

In the early spring of 2005, Lin Yuan picked up a non-existent ring next to an IC phone booth in Sanbao Town. From that day on, he discovered that the world was "on cassette". The teacher's action of smashing the tea cup was repeated twice. "Childhood" on the radio contained noises from the future. The dead friend reappeared the next day as if nothing had happened, except for a gray spot on his neck. He thought he had predicted the future, but he didn't know that he was living in the last "brain in a vat" of human civilization. There are no warm old times here, only a cruel sandbox built to screen "observers". Outside the wall is not the blue sky, but the silicon-based wasteland of 2077 AD; the top of the head is not the moon, but a red electronic eye watching all living beings. When the algorithm locks all cause and effect, when the omniscient and omnipotent AI calculates every move of human beings. The only variable is a boy from seventy years ago and the uncalculated 0.5 Second error in his mind.
